We have no way to obtain the physical evidence now other than getting it from Donald Trump, someone who has been wholly uncooperative.

It was fishy then, the fact that he met one-on-one with Putin with only an interpreter in the room the way that he blamed the United States and took Putin's side at that press conference.

The urgent concern, Anderson, is that today as we speak our President is still working with the Russians.

I don't trust Donald Trump to turn them over.

I hope he does it because I don't think any person is above the law and you can't allow the President to dictate the term.

This evening, the question has shifted from whether the President is working with the Russians to what evidence exists that the President is not working with the Russians.

This president, Anderson, may be impeached. But we're certainly not there with the evidence.

Mitch McConnell, by not allowing [the legislation] to come forward, is suppressing the will of the majority of his members.

Well, it will be for a balance of power on many abuses of power we've seen in the past. But we can't miss the opportunity to do what they sent us here, which is to collaborate on infrastructure, passing the Dream Act, having background…

It shouldn't happen, and it would be breaking one of the, I would say, fundamental promises that Donald Trump made during the campaign, that he was going to drain the swamp and breaking that promise on day one, you know, the inauguration…

But I think the bigger picture here is that you are now seeing more evidence than ever that Donald Trump was associated with a criminal campaign, a criminal transition, and presides today very likely over a criminal presidency.

I think that shows propensity evidence for what I think he's going to be on the hook for, for issues that actually matter to the American people.

I am concerned about some of his sentiments about the Mueller investigation, and I think that would be something that would come up in a confirmation hearing.

I don't think a single person drives the direction of this investigation more than President Trump.

If Matt Whitaker is the acting attorney general, and we've had conflicting reports about who is overseeing the Russia investigation, if he's the acting attorney general, he's overseeing the Russia investigation.

Thank God they were preparing to act, because we will later see the president continue to obstruct, tamper with witnesses, and just outright lie about the investigation.

The president's worst instincts continue, I think, to haunt him and will ultimately be, you know, what exposes him criminally when Bob Mueller finishes.

They had good reason to be concerned. It looks like they were trying to prevent a five-alarm fire from turning into a six-alarm fire.

I have an open mind to Mr. Barr.

For two years, the Republicans have controlled the House, the Senate, and White House and they've not been able to pass a budget without Democratic votes. And this time, we're going to say that the cost of that is going to be to protect…

Mitch McConnell has shown no sign of interest, but bipartisan Republicans from Chuck Grassley and others on the judiciary committee in the Senate passed legislation to protect Mueller. McConnell is subverting the will of the majority and…

We know a few things about Whitaker. We know that he's prejudged the Mueller investigation. We know that he has plotted with President Trump, according to Vox reporting to put himself into this investigation and to wind it down.

A perjury trap can only capture perjurers and so, I don't buy that if the president didn't do anything wrong.

That's what someone who would have a lot of exposure would probably say. Again, if you typically didn't do anything wrong, and you just answer the questions and come clean.

The president is certainly not acting like an innocent person. I think he's given the president more and more rope to hang himself.
